The three main contradictions and many plots in the book also come from the confusion caused by my daily study and reading. While writing the book, I also tried to explore my own thoughts through the exchanges and collisions between different characters and ideas.
understanding and answers.

The first major contradiction is the "choice without regrets" that is implemented throughout the book, starting from Imagawa Yoshimoto's proposal to the protagonist until the final dialogue in Huangquan Hirazaka. What kind of choice is the choice without regrets? This has also been troubled for many years.
The question. The answer given by Yoshimoto Imagawa is also my own realization: choice means giving up, and regret is inevitable; instead of deceiving yourself, thinking that there is a choice that will have no regrets, and spending all your energy on the choice.
, it is better to accept the facts happily. Carrying the endless regret of giving up another choice, firmly embark on the path of your choice. That regret will make you realize how much the road you have paid for.
It will drive yourself to keep moving forward until all regrets are burned away. At that moment, the choice you make will be regretless.
The second main contradiction is also the most important main contradiction in the book - if you want to end the troubled times, should you uphold the right path and save the world in an aboveboard way, or should you use unscrupulous means to start chaos and then bring order to the world. This is what I have learned in the four years of studying international politics.
One of the most troublesome issues. Regarding this contradiction, the whole book has a lot of ink, and people who believe in the two factions have had many confrontations and dialogues. The former include Takenaka Shigeharu, Yu Qiupei, Imagawa Kaede, Asai Nagamasa, Mori Katsunari,
Akechi Mitsuhide, Hatakeyama Takamasa, Uakisaki; there are too many of the latter, including Amano Keitoku, Oda Nobunaga, Miyoshi Yoshihide, Hayashi Xiuzhen, Takeda Shingen, and most of the Warring States daimyo whose strength is supreme. The author of this book
The ending, as always, is written in the style of a romantic epic. Representatives of the two factions, Takenaka Shigeharu and Amano Keitoku, reconcile before their death, while the good-hearted Yu Qiupei finally wins.
The third main contradiction is the contradiction between the time traveler and history. As a time traveler, the protagonist spends his life fighting against history, trying to save Imagawa Yoshimoto, Asai Nagamasa, Mori Katsunari, Akechi Mitsuhide and others from the tragic fate.
There are many people who have finally succeeded miserably after countless failures. What I want to explore here is the inevitability of history and my own confusion when reading history. Once the character of a character is determined, what he does in a given historical environment
Is it impossible to escape the shackles of fate? As a "child of the future", do time travelers have the ability to change all this?
Many other scenes and plots are also closely related to my study and life. When I was studying politics, I couldn't help but try to create a completely different political system in medieval Japan; when I was studying Protestant ethics,
Then there is the night conversation between the protagonist and Honganji Xianru, discussing the meaning of religion.
Meaning; the cave through which the traveler travels is also derived from the metaphor of the cave in "Utopia" learned in the Western Politics class...
It is precisely because I have invested so much of my own emotions and experiences in the book that I want to keep it pure and clean, and do not want to have too much involvement with commercial practices.

5. Acknowledgments
I am very grateful to my relatives, friends and book friends who have supported me over the years. This book could not be completed until the end without your help!
The first thing I want to thank is my parents. My dad has never taken a stand against me writing novels. It is said that he has read some chapters, but I don’t believe it. Although my mom has been verbally suppressing my enthusiasm and persuading me to give up, but In fact, she did not take any coercive measures, but acquiesced. She also believed that I could coordinate my studies and novels well. It is enough for me that my parents can adopt such an attitude towards my unprofessional behavior. This is the greatest support. .
The second thing I want to thank is my girlfriend. Although she abandoned the book without even seeing the appearance of the heroine based on her, and later only read the emotional lines of the male and female protagonists, she is the main supervisor who supervises my updates, and she also She graciously allowed me to write the novel without accompanying her (this may be the main source of time for the creation of this book). I also want to thank her very much for using Pindou to restore the protagonist Yu Qiuping's horse seal "Maple Bird" for me, which is On the cover of this book, I have been unable to draw the "Maple Bird" as I imagined with my handicapped hands.
Then I would like to thank a group of good friends! The two characters who claimed the roles of Aton Suzu Mizumi and Kentaro Tamashimi were loyal readers when the book was first written and before it was published on the platform for serialization, and they put forward many plot suggestions. Morita Evil Xiang, the eternal drop god, the most powerful free typo detection machine! There are also Senju Onari (I have climbed the technology tree for a long time in order to realize his dream of firing guns), Mishima Riyu (not a thousand from the appearance to the end) (Chinese characters), Li Jiaqi, Sugitani Wen, Kinomoto Ning, Fukuzawa Yunan, Kawako and other friends who have not read the book but played small roles, it is really a joy to spoof the characters!
The ones who need to be most grateful are the book friends! (Apologies again, the author is the author who established the book friend group almost after finishing the book.) Whether on the platform or on the forum, book friends can always make accurate and accurate comments on the endless flaws in the book. Sharp comments and interactions with everyone are also one of the most important motivations for my writing. The beginning of the book is very slow, the writing is childish and pretentious, and the plot is unpleasant and abusive. It can be said that the reading experience is very bad. In the middle, because the place name "山(AAAAAA) Yin(AAAAAAA) Road" appeared too many times, the book was mistakenly sealed. It was suspended for half a year, and too many readers were lost. Readers who can persevere and never give up are really good. It's not easy. The history of Japan's Warring States Period is a niche subject, and the writing of this book is definitely not good, and there are not many readers. But when I saw some book friends who have been following the book since the first update on the post forum, I survived the half-year ban and still kept up with the updates until the end. I was really touched. Thank you all again! I am really lucky to know you!

6. Some focused answers to questions
Why is the ID of this book on the Qidian platform "Renewal of the Red Leaves of Joban in the Warring States Period"? What does the word "renewal" mean? The reason has been explained above, because too many banned words appear and the book is reviewed. It was banned and could not be restored. The editor suggested that I publish a new book. However, the ID could not be the same, so I added "supplementary update" after "The Red Leaves of Joban in the Warring States Period".
Why is this article not only not a good article, but also more cruel than normal? This question has been answered before in the comment area. Because this article is not for profit, and it does not pursue high reading volume and popularity. More It’s my own interests and I write what I want to write. Therefore, when it comes to plot design and protagonist character design, I don’t think too much about rhythm and excitement. The main considerations are character creation, growth process and several plots throughout the text. The main contradiction. Moreover, there are large sections of second-person emotional descriptions in the style of light novels in this article. Some parts are too delicate, which is normal for being unflattering. On the other hand, I think the Warring States Period was a cruel era, and I wanted peace and harmony. Meimei, it is a bit far-fetched to go through the "Shuangwen-style" life smoothly. Parting and separation, life and death are inevitable. This is why this troubled world is uniquely charming - precisely because there are so many cruel things. , people who are still struggling tenaciously are more beautiful. If the cruelty of troubled times is deprived, those people who can sing and cry will be eclipsed. Of course, my lack of writing skills is also an important reason for the poor reading experience. I think because of reading Readers who have been upset by this book apologize and sincerely thank those book friends who supported this book. However, although the protagonist Yu Qiuping does not have the aura of the protagonist, the eldest son Yu Qiu Shang has the aura of fullness. Of course, it is also what I am complaining to book friends: Xiao Naoe will always be a god! He married the son-in-law of the protagonist's daughter Yu Qiucen, Naoe Nobuhira. He has occupied the protagonist's halo for a long time, is full of luck, and understands everything.
Why don’t time travelers climb the technology tree? Why don’t they explore overseas colonies? Why don’t they engage in sea trade with the Ming Dynasty?… and a series of questions about the ability of time travelers. I have explained this question several times. After all, this article is what I want to write.
What I want is the story and characters, not a perfect guide. Therefore, I want the protagonist as a time traveler to integrate into that era, feel the joys and sorrows of that era, and have a collision of ideas. If the protagonist
Ahead of the times, quickly unifying the world through various optimal solution choices - this way of writing is of course also an idea, but it is obviously inconsistent with the purpose of my writing. There are some technology trees in the bar and book club.
Enthusiasts and medieval history experts hate the protagonist, a useless time traveler, who hates iron but never makes steel. He always comes up with various ways to use the time traveler's knowledge to break the situation. I can only smile bitterly. Everyone said
Naturally, it's all right, but I really don't want to write in this direction. The few climbing technology trees are also for the plot service: for example, to allow the protagonist to quickly become famous; to allow some historical figures to complete their character creation when they collide with technology and ideas that are beyond the times.
(For example, Yoshihide Miyoshi, Toyasu Anzai, Ichikawa Tokawa, Shingen Takeda); and to fulfill the dream of my roommates playing the role of a minor player (Osari Senju) (Li Jiaqi) to fire a cannon and be blown up to death.
Why does this book follow the Oda line? This is also one of the most important questions after the early battle of Otohazama-Narumi Castle. There is no doubt that as the author, I am an Imagawa fan, especially Imagawa Yoshimoto and Otohama.
Imagawa Yoshimoto's fake death in the battle was not a plot kill, but was decided when designing the plot in junior high school. On the one hand, this key plot involves two of the three core contradictions in this article; on the other hand,
Because I have many characters of the Oda family that I want to describe, I have to follow the historical trajectory of the Oda line. I believe that most of my friends who are exposed to the history of the Warring States Period in Japan started with Oda Nobunaga. Most of the best-selling books about
Books and novels on the history of the Warring States Period in Japan often use the Oda family as the first perspective, and I was greatly influenced by them when reading. Tsuneaki Ikeda, Mitsuhide Akechi, Katsunari Mori, Hideyoshi Hashiba, Hideyoshi Hayashi, Yoshiyuki Sawaki, Ori
Taichi, Oda Gotoku, and Oda Nobunaga himself... there are many, many characters with distinctive personalities that I want to portray, but if I want to make their characters full-bodied, I must let them experience their history.
The events I have experienced must have enough roles. Compared with the Oda family, there are much fewer books and novels about the Imagawa family. Except for Imagawa Yoshimoto and Taiyuan Xuezai, I am not familiar with the characters.
I know it, but I don’t know how to start. Therefore, this book chooses the Oda Line as the main line of the book, and it contains many characters and plots from the Imagawa Line.

7. Remaining regrets and new book plans
After finishing this novel, I did not feel as relaxed as I imagined. On the contrary, I felt empty. I even lacked motivation to read the literature and prepare for the final project. As expected, my interest will not fade with the achievement of my goal. In fact, I still want to continue writing.
After all, the novel still leaves a lot of regrets.
As a fan of Imagawa, it is naturally a great pity that I was not able to write the story of Imagawa Line. And there are many things that I am not satisfied with in "Jiban Momiji: The Warring States Period". Some characters have become slaves to the plot and have done some inappropriate things for the sake of the plot.
Things that are in line with the character's personality have caused many shortcomings in the character creation. For example, Yu Qiuping's growth - in fact, based on the blows he has received and the things he has experienced, he should have understood some truths long ago. However, in order to allow the plot to continue, only
It allows him to keep his innocent heart forever. Of course, in a sense, this is also one of the most attractive aspects of Yu Qiuping.
After I finish my undergraduate thesis, I plan to continue writing the second part of the series, with Imagawa Yoshimoto as the protagonist, chronicling the second series of Imagawa Ujihei and Amakihei. Of course, I understand that the academic pressure will only be greater in the future, and I will have more free time.
Chapter completed!
